TC install Problems!!
TC install Problems!! Well, all that is left til I can drop the trans is the top three bellhousing bolts and one (aaarrgghhh!) stripped out hex converter-to-flywheel bolt. Any ideas on how to get this off?
I was thinking I would just cut it off with a cut off wheel,but where can I get a new bolt? Hardware store? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
I have a shift kit, should I install it at the same time? How hard is it?
Just a little pissed because it seems that everything I do to my car has complications. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />
Iguess if the normal is for things to be hard, then when I have something easy to do, then it should seem really easy! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

Re: TC install Problems!! Well, the new bolts will be of no use unless I can get the old one out. There isn't enough clearance to cut it off like I was going to, I got a bolt extractor set, but it doesn't seem to be doing the trick,because I can't put enough pressure on the drill to drill out the bolt and extract it with the bolt being where it is.
Any suggestions?
If I can't figure it out I guess I'll put the car back together and take it to a shop when I have a chance.

Re: TC install Problems!! LOL <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> ))
dude, i can see myself in your face..
I have absolutly no luck with bolts, i just screw em all hahah
but the main problem here for me is that i don't have enough Right tools to do the job, so, get the right tools and work on your car then, untill then get the hell out of there haha
and yes, i guess screw extractor set is the only way to go, so find some smaller drill, i guess and go for it, but be careful
agrrhhh, i hate screws and bolts

Re: TC install Problems!! Well, ended up putting the car back together and I'm gonna take it to a shop monday or tuesday.
I hate paying people to fix my mistakes. Oh well, I guess that's the only way you learn not to make them in the first place.
